average cpu load = 3% is that high?

i am running the perfect debian setup (pretty much from the guide). The only differences is vhcs2 is running my virtual hosting. I don't have anything too funky running so i am wondering if this average of 3% all the time is quite high for a pentium 2.4ghz with 1gb of ram?

in my eyes 3% is not very high, but you have to distinguish load from cpuusage.
Next thing is, what applications are running on your server and the intensity they are used... so you can't say a cpu usage of x percent is high or low without knowing what really happens on that machine (even saying there are some webpages doing some "simple" DB-requests is too imprecise...)
